An Update on Lance Storm's contract situation

It was reported last week that Lance Storm has signed a 30-day contract with ECW, in an attempt by ECW to work out a long-term deal for Storm during that 30-day period. Up until recently, Storm was working for ECW without a written contract, he was working on a verbal agreement. Since Mike Awesome jumped to WCW, ECW has realized that they need to address the way they deal with contractual obligations. Amid rumors that he was already jumping to WCW, Storm personally refuted those rumors on his website, StormWrestling.com.

Today, Dave Meltzer of Wrestlingobserver.com reports that Lance Storm has agreed to stay with ECW through the Hardcore Heaven PPV on May 14th. Storm will participate in the main event, a Three-Way Dance with Tommy Dreamer for Justin Credible's ECW World Title. As of now, Storm's situation remains up in the air. Meltzer reports that Storm has not yet been made a bona fide contract offer by WCW, so he is continuing to negotiate with ECW.

Storm addresses the issue himself on the latest audio update on his official website. Storm confirms that he is currently on a 30-day deal with Paul Heyman and that he is extremely happy in ECW. He is currently waiting for numbers from Heyman but he says he owes it to himself and his family to check his options elsewhere (namely WCW.) If the numbers are the same or relatively close, with ECW being a little less, then Storm will stay in ECW. Overall, Storm says that there is a "good to strong" chance that he will stay put in ECW.
